Slalom Cloud Solutions team builds robust systems and empowers customers to confidently navigate their cloud journey by implementing the right technologies to achieve sustainable, real-world outcomes. Our mission is to deliver exceptional cloud solutions by seamlessly integrating strategy, execution, and deep cross-functional expertise. We support organisations in adopting best-in-class cloud technologies that drive excellence, efficiency, and innovation.

What You'll Do
Architect drives the automation and DevOps strategy, architecture, and implementation of a project solution. Your role is to provide technical expertise in your field with the consultative mindset to drive client discussions from requirements through to development. Specifically, you will:

• Act as a hands-on, technical lead for multi-functional product teams creating purpose-built software products for our clients.
• Lead an initial engagement discovery for a project and remain accountable and responsible for the design and delivery of a modern Platform Engineering solution.
• Provide domain expertise in DevOps culture, tooling, delivery methods, and cultural practices within Slalom as well as with our clients.
• Lead work effort estimation and story pointing across capabilities to align to user and business goals at each phase of an Agile project.
• Participate in internal Slalom events or initiatives.

What You'll Bring
Architects bring experience as an architect across software engineering and DevOps in production using AWS. We will tap into your knowledge of designing and implementing end-to-end continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines as well as your experience in configuration management and infrastructure as code (e.g., Chef, Puppet, Ansible, Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM, etc.) Security is part of everything we do and will require your knowledge of fundamental cloud security (e.g., identity and access management, firewalls, etc.) as we build for our customers.

As an Architect you will lead and collaborate across multiple functional and/or technical teams to deliver an Agile-based project. You will be leveraging your growth, bringing enthusiasm about learning new technologies quickly, and applying your gained knowledge to address practical business problems for your customer. Showing your ability to lead conversations with clients on a business level and translate their needs into technical solutions will be what maximizes velocity for the team.

Our Values
Our culture and values reflect each individual Slalomer. We are dedicated to encouraging workplace diversity and ensuring all our people, from any background can contribute to their full potential. We wish to build a team that echoes the diversity of the communities we serve, and our values are an active part of our every-day, guiding our decisions.

What keeps us here?
When we moved to Australia in 2020, we had no idea just how important our work/life balance would need to be. We've asked our consultants what makes Slalom a great place to work and the most common answer – "the freedom to be ourselves when life gets in the way". We make a big effort to bring everyone together and allow space when space is needed. We believe in helping each other thrive in work and life and are proud to invest in benefits that include holistic wellbeing, meaningful allowances, and investment in our team's professional, technical, and personal growth.
